So is the power steering column adjustment permanently gone from 718 (as a part of memory package)? How were recent 2022 GTS4.0 with sofas delivered?

I could swear it was listed on 2022 configuration when I built mine but it's gone from 2023.

Apparently Porsche is no longer offering option to retrofit it.

That sucks. I really like it on my other cars and BGTS4.0 I am waiting for is a "comfort" spec (sofas, PDK, Burmester). It's not as much about adjustment but about retraction for comfort exit/entry.

Perhaps it's the power steering column (as part of the premium package) that's holding up my car from being finished at the factory for a month. 😖

It has nothing to do with premium package but "18-way sofas w/memory package" AFAIK.

Are those dates above PSVMS or TYD? They should be the same, but it’s been shown that TYD is almost garbage sometimes.
They are TYD dates. No CXX or PTS, pretty standard BGTS 6MT.

Anyone here know the average time for a vessel to sail from Emden to Cristobal, Panama? My beloved Hestia Leader left radar last week and I'm wondering when I can expect to see her back in sight.

Hestia Leader Is nearing the Caribbean and is scheduled to be at the canal on 5/11.
It’s projected to dock in San Diego on 5/19, Long Beach 5/20, and Port Hueneme on 5/21.
There are Mercedes Benzs on board and probably some BMWs and MINIs, too. Plus your car. And mine. 😎🛳

Loaded my 981 Spyder on a transport and sent it to it's new home. I will be Porscheless for the next 70 days.

Took my daughter for a last ride before I loaded her up.

So probably 2/3 of a 6000 mile trip. Wonder how long Glovis Supreme sat at anchor waiting to get through the Canal a week or so ago. I'd love for my date to move up a few.
